In cemeteries across Ken­­tucky, this Memorial Day we will honor those who have died in service to our beloved United States. Traditions have evolved over time and Memorial Day now includes parades, ceremonies and picnics, with flags placed at the gravesites of all those who have served in the Armed Forces.

Over the years, the month of May has become a time for honoring and remembering men and women who have served, or are serving, our nation. May, which was designated as Military Appreciation Month in 1999 by Congress, includes Military Spouse Appreciation Day, Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day.

Judging by a recent letter complaining that Republicans have short memories, it looks like we are hitting the target. I want to assure everyone, this Republican has a long memory. I remember how Democrats will foul things up with poorly thought out policies and then blame the GOP when it blows up in their faces.
